Windows Live represents Microsoft's biggest push into the Software-as-a-Service market, Windows Live Messenger is the first software package to be released out of Beta in the Windows Live range, Windows Live Search (Desktop), Windows Live Mail Desktop and Windows Live Toolbar are expected to follow this year.

So they're sticking with that fugly interface that doesn't fit in with any version of Windows whatsoever?

MSN/Windows Live Messenger hasn't resembled any version of Windows since 5.0. At least they've dumbed down on the clutter in the conversation windows (though that carousel or whatever in the main window is just useless IMO).

I don't think it's going to be released then, or I should say I don't think that they'll be releasing a build with Yahoo interoperability. If you go to the messengersays blog, you'll see that alot more testing has to be done on the interoperability before it's ready.

I htink they will keep the same UI as in the last beta version

Indeed it'll be the same UI as the current 689_branches build.

Im still missing an feature. On the old 7.x you could see everyone's DP in your contact window. But its gone! Snif

You can, in the contact list you can click the green double sided arrows and choose show details.

w00t, 8 more days till MSN Plus! :D

It's Messenger Plus! Live and I doubt Patchou will release it on the same exact day WLM is released.

Good :D I've been looking forward for the Yahoo-MSN integration, Can't wait to talk to my MSN friends on Yahoo Messenger :D

They're adding the Yahoo! Messenger interoperability into Windows Live Messenger for you to keep in touch with your Yahoo! Messenger friends via Windows Live Messenger, I don't know if Yahoo! is planning on adding the interoperability to add support for you to keep in touch with your Windows Live Messenger contacts via Yahoo! Messenger or not.

Didn't know ... Just though they were going to do the same thing, thanks for clearing things up.

Mind explaining how Yahoo! users will reply to the WLM users?

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
